Senior Research Seminar: Plato’s Hippias Major
Seminars will be at 16:30 to 18:30 every Thursday throughout Michaelmas and Lent in room 1.11. Meetings will begin at 18:05 and end at 20:00 when the Philological Society Meets (25 October, 15 November, 29 November).

We will be reading Plato Hippias Major. Please bring along a text. A division of the text will be circulated at the first meeting and we will ask for volunteers to lead each session.
Everyone interested in the Sophist is welcome. Although this is the 'senior research seminar', the B Caucus positively encourages young people, people from other caucuses and indeed philosophical people with no affiliation with the B Caucus to attend.
